I chose this specific point because of the well documented history of the Trace.
The Rock People were the first of Many to travel through here on their many journies across the Ozarks.
I have found evidence here of the Mississippi Mound Culture.
It was Followed by the Famous Trail of Tears then came the Civil War.
It had Telegraph Road.
The Most Famous was the Butterfield Stage Line.
Can you imagine how many people have passed this point.
My family came by here generations ago and no here I am back to this area.
Maybe someone in your Family journied this path.
It is beyond my imagination.
